Occupational Therapy Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that supports people of all ages to live meaningful, independent lives by overcoming barriers to everyday activities. Occupational therapists work across health, social care and community settings, taking a holistic approach to understand how physical, psychological and social factors affect daily life.

On this three-year course, you’ll develop the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed for professional practice. You’ll learn how to assess needs, set goals and design effective interventions, while exploring key theories such as occupational science, human development and rehabilitation, alongside contemporary areas including health promotion, digital innovation and inclusive practice. By the end of the course, you can become a fully accredited occupational therapist with membership to the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT).

You will gain hands-on experience across a wide range of settings, including hospitals, community services, education and charities. Through placements, simulation and real-world case studies, you’ll develop clinical reasoning, communication and reflective skills, preparing you to become a compassionate practitioner ready to make a positive impact in modern healthcare.
